Объяснение
When we say a consonant, the air meets an obstacle in the mouth. Uzbek has 24 consonant sounds. They are written with single letters and with the letter combinations sh, ch, ng. Many consonants form voiced–voiceless pairs: b–p, d–t, g–k, z–s, v–f, j–sh. In a voiced consonant the voice is clearly heard; in a voiceless one we hear mostly noise (breath).
